This three part mural, on the south wall of Bargain Book Warehouse, was painted in 2017 by Anne Smith (aka Art By Anne). The left portion of the mural shows the front of a train engine with the letters BBW Express. The middle portion depicts a gargoyle and the right portion shows a mythical scene with a dragon and a dog chasing a ball thrown by a gargoyle. High up on the front of the building are large hand painted end views of books with the name of the business. The artist signed the piece with “A.S.” for Anne Smith and a “B” with a heart around it as a tribute to the artist’s son, Beren. See below for detailed photos.
